Hello wonderful people! Thank you all for your comments and for participating in the Giveaway! I had so much fun reading about your favourite pans and since a lot of you asked about my tiny collection, I actually went to count them and I can tell you I'm the happy owner of 42 pans! Do you think that's a lot?

I had a friend visiting from Spain and he helped me pick the 2 lucky winners. And they are...

Congratulations girls! Please send me an email and the Cake Lifters will be on your way soon!

And now a couple more things:

Shreya from Mom's Cooking tagged me for a meme. The rule was to pick up the nearest book, open to page 123, find the 5th sentence and post the next three sentences. The nearest book I had was Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice cream & Dessert Book (aren't you surprised that my nearest book was food related?). I opened it on page 123 but there was no text there, it's just the begining of the Drinks's chapter. I wonder why I feel like having a milkshake now?!

And what do you say about my haircut? I just had it cut this morning and I'm still getting used to it. I've cut 25 cm (10 inches) that I'll be happy to send to Locks of Love. If you don't know about this wonderful organization please go check it out!

Your hair looks absolutely cute with the short cut! I need to do that to mine, it's crazy, lately I always just put it up. Don't like dealing with it in the humidity. I'll bet that feels strange to go from long to the short cut! I've done that before. I think I actually like my hair better shorter, but really need to be able to put it up in the summer.42 cake pans--that IS a lot. I guess for a pastry chef, it might not be. I only have about 5!

Congrats to the LUCKY girls...of course I'm green,but really happy for Mari & Rachel. On another note, your new cut looks cool; fabulous!! Must feel really nice & light. Am glad you sent it to Locks of Love!I'm off to count my tins...Oh & another thing...CONGRATS on the Art de Pico! Well deserved!

Your new hair cut looks beautiful! I donated mine to Locks of Love a couple of years ago and if I ever get it that long again, I'm doing the same. One of my sisters with fast growing hair does it about every 18 months. Congrats to the winners.

OMG! you cut your hair exactly the same length as mine! Mine was just as long too and I needed a "change". So 2 weeks ago, my stylist cut it (a tad shorter than I wanted) but it'll grow back! You look exactly the same from the back as I do! The "bob" is back! It looks really good on you!Um. I think I have more pans than you. I've been accumulating since university...and I need help. Is there like a support group for this addiction?

glad you donated your hair :) my freshman year in college i cut 13" off... then i grew it out for my wedding in 2005... then i missed my short hair and in january of this year i cut off 10" again :) now i'm growing it out again! ha!

Thank you so much for stopping by, I wish I had a cake lifter for all of you! Thanks also for your nice comments about my short hair, I'm really happy I did it!Glad to know that most of you didn't think 42 was a lot of pans, lol!

Rita, I'm so glad you took part in Locks of Love. I've been doing it on and off for several years, especially when my sister battled Hodgkin's (I think I took off 10-inches total that time, but was left with a nice shoulder length 'bouncy and flowing' style. Other times, I was butchered, but it didn't matter. :)

However, it's now more than half way down my back again, so I think it's time again, glad your post reminded me! It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to give natutal hair wigs to those losing their hair from the chemo. It's such a devastating thing to witness, considering they have so much battling to do in general.

In any event, your new style looks awesome! But then again, even if it didn't, you did something so wonderful, that's all that matters :)

Weird thing just happened. I logged into my Blogger account, (where I have an empty blog as I was thinking of switching over), with the URL to my WP blog. When I used Name/Url, it didn't link like it usually does, so I decided to log into blogger to ask you to excuse my typos (natutal means natuRal..lol), and the above post was from another blog comment to Lesley, who I posted to last week, showed up in the comment box, and submitted itself! I honestly clicked nothing, SO, maybe that one ought to be deleted! LOL In any event, I wonder why Blogger won't take the WP name and URL anymore? Oh well, no biggie.

Finally, that Oreo 'tiramisu' looks luscious, but I'm not surprised, as everything you make looks luscious superb :)
